About me
About me
Hello there! I work for a non-profit that supports the Golden Gate National Parks. In this role, I often come across visitors and love to encourage them to explore, not only parts of San Francisco, but our well-known park sites that offer so much beauty and history as well! I love engaging with visitors and locals, seeing what interests them. You can learn a lot about people and I’ve met so many interesting characters over the years. I was a former film student many moons ago. And while that didn’t pan out, I naturally found photography as my go-to creative outlet. It pleases me to no end.
Why San Francisco
I love San Francisco because it’s just so laid back here. People are generally super-warm and friendly. I feel safe to roam around a bunch of neighborhoods and just let the town reveal its goodness, beauty, and eclectic charm to me. It’s infectious and I love its rich history. It’s a city that makes you feel welcome. It’s unpretentious and quirky. It’s a whole lot of fun and I consistently find something new to love about it. I’m happy to call it my city.

Coffee and park goers
I love coming to Alamo Square in San Francisco and getting a yummy park coffee from Lady Falcon Coffee Club and their converted 1940s bread truck!

Saint Frank Coffee
Modern coffee vibes
"Saint Frank Coffee" in San Francisco feels like an airy museum on the inside. I always leave with a few bags of coffee and an iced latte in hand...

Stable Cafe
SF or Italian Countryside?
I've never been to a cafe that made me feel as if I had been teleported to another place than "Stable Cafe" in San Francisco... Felt like I was in Italy!

The Spire
The Presidio’s natural skyscraper
"The Spire" in The Presidio in San Francisco is one of the many reasons to come visit. A natural skyscraper, it reminds me of Where the Wild Things Are...
